Jeffrey Perez didn’t expect Ivy to attack so swiftly. He wanted to dodge, but being only a third-grade cultivator, he couldn’t avoid Ivy’s sword. He could only watch as the sword shot towards his throat.
“Master Jeff, be careful!”
Just then, an old man’s voice rang out.
Boom! At the same time, a wave of energy surged from the side, blocking Ivy’s sword. The powerful wave pushed Jeffrey Perez and the people behind him several steps back, causing their blood to churn.
“You insolent woman! If you dare to kill me, I will strip you naked and make you beg for mercy on your knees. I’ll jump off this cruise ship right now!” Jeffrey Perez, who had narrowly escaped death, shouted angrily. He didn’t expect Ivy to be so ruthless, directly aiming to take his life. This completely infuriated him. After speaking, he pointed at Ivy and Harleen, then looked at the old man. “Mr Robinson, cripple their cultivation and bring them to my room!”
“Master Jeff, they might be Glavale’s people. Maybe we should reconsider?” the old man hesitated before continuing. “Besides, the Guardians have regulations against causing trouble on the cruise ship…”
“What does it matter if they’re from Glavale? They intended to assassinate me. I must teach them a lesson today!” Jeffrey Perez interrupted. After speaking, his tone turned cold. “Alright, go ahead. I’ll explain it to the Guardians later.”
The old man didn’t insist any further, nodding in response before looking at Harleen and Ivy. “I advise you both to willingly go to Master Jeff’s room, offer him an apology, and make him happy. Perhaps you’ll be able to keep your cultivation!” the old man said.
“Is this the kind of people you Veridianians are?” Ivy replied coldly.
“Since that’s the case, don’t blame me!” The old man’s tone turned serious as he raised his hand and attacked the two. His aura instantly soared, revealing his cultivation at the peak of the Sixth-rank Sovereign. From his cultivation, it could be inferred that he was one of the ancient powerhouses that rarely appeared in Veridiania.
The last time, Billy killed the so-called Veridiania’s number one powerhouse, Hadden Geis, who seemed to only have the strength of the late Fifth-rank Sovereign.
“Yield!”
With that, the old man soared into the air, diving towards Harleen and Ivy like an eagle swooping down on its prey. Just then, without any warning, a blood-red blade aura suddenly slashed diagonally from the side, its momentum awe-inspiring.
“Huh?!” The old man’s pupils shrank to the size of wheat grains in an instant. He knew that he absolutely couldn’t withstand this strike. A sense of death surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He wanted to dodge, but being suspended in mid-air, he was helpless. He could only close his eyes in despair.
As expected, the blood-red blade aura flashed through his body, freezing the old man’s expression instantly. The powerful impact sent his body flying off the deck. Following that, the old man’s severed body fell into the sea, disappearing completely as if he had never existed.
At the sight of this scene, the crowd surrounding them all gasped in shock simultaneously. The one who had reached the level of a Sixth-rank Sovereign was unexpectedly cut into two by a single slash.
“Mr Robinson!” Jeffrey Perez stood in a daze for half a day before shouting loudly.
The people behind him all froze, their faces as pale as if they had seen a ghost.
“Billy!” Harleen called out to Billy, who was steadily approaching.
Ivy and Night Orchid greeted him as well.
“Mhm!” Billy nodded in response. “Are you all okay?”
They all nodded their heads simultaneously.
“What happened?” asked Billy.
“Billy, that bastard wanted my sister and Ivy to accompany him to his room for drinks!” Felicia briefly described the situation.
“Is that so?” A cold murderous intent emanated from Billy.
“Asshole, you dare to kill Mr Robinson. I promise you, all of you will die!” Jeffrey Perez angrily shouted at Billy.
“Boss, should I cut them down?” Vermilion Bird asked Billy.
“Throw them all into the sea!” Billy responded in a deep voice.
For now, he could ignore people from Veridiania if they didn’t provoke him. But they dared to challenge him, Billy would kill them one by one. Glavale’s century-old catastrophe, Veridiania’s debts hadn’t been properly settled yet. Moreover, Veridiania had been provoking Glavale for nearly a century, using despicable means. According to Billy, Veridiania was a doomed nation.
“How dare you!” Jeffrey Perez shouted loudly.
“Understood!” Vermilion Bird nodded and raised his hand, slashing down.
“Stop!”
An angry voice came from behind. As the voice sounded, a wave of energy blocked Vermilion Bird’s attack. Then a group of people quickly walked over, led by a tall white man with a fierce aura. Following closely behind him was an elderly man with an Oriental appearance, who looked like he was most likely from Veridiania.
“Lord Cooke, you’ve arrived just in time. The people from Glavale killed Mr Robinson. Please ask Lord Rory to make them pay!” Jeffrey Perez hurriedly ran over when he saw the elderly man.
“You people from Glavale are really audacious. You dare to kill someone on the cruise ship. Do you not take the Guardians into consideration?” the elderly man angrily addressed Billy.
“Oh! So you have the Guardians as your backer. No wonder you’re so arrogant!” Azure Dragon continued to speak, looking at Jeffrey Perez. “But since my boss said to throw you into the sea, even if you have the Guardians protecting you, it’s useless!”
“Outrageous!” Rory spoke up in a deep voice. “When you boarded this cruise ship, you were already informed of the rules. Now you dare to cause trouble. Truly ignorant of your own impending doom!”
“And then?” Azure Dragon narrowed his eyes.
“According to the Guardians’ regulations, causing trouble on the cruise ship is a grave offense! Not to mention that you also killed someone, which is an unforgivable crime!” Rory continued in a solemn voice. “I’ll give you a chance. Hand over the person who attacked just now, and I will spare the others. Or all of you will die together!”
“Lord Rory, it was him who killed Mr Robinson!” Jeffrey Perez pointed at Billy and shouted loudly.
“You may take your own life!” Rory glanced at Billy.
“Do you know what happened before this?” Azure Dragon asked, looking at Rory.
“I don’t need to know!” Rory replied in a firm voice. “I only saw you causing trouble and killing someone on the cruise ship. Regardless of the reason, it’s a capital offense, and he must die!”
“Heh, it seems the Guardians are truly deserving of their reputation!” Azure Dragon’s tone turned serious. “Since you have this kind of bandit logic, then I can rest easy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Rory and pointed at Jeffrey Perez. “I’ll give you a chance. Jump down yourself, or else all of you will die!”
“Outrageous!” Rory shouted angrily once again. “Daring to disregard the rules of the Guardians, you are truly seeking death!” As he finished speaking, he waved his hand. “Surround them all!”
